Oval-Cut Black Gemstone Ring with Pavé Accents and Gunmetal Finish

This contemporary ring features a prominent oval-cut black gemstone, likely a black onyx, spinel, or heat-treated diamond, held in a four-prong setting. The central stone is faceted to maximize surface reflection and is flanked by a trio of smaller round black accent stones on each shoulder, leading into a pavé-set band. The entire piece is constructed from a dark, gunmetal-toned metal, which appears to be black rhodium plating over sterling silver or gold. This dark finish creates a monochromatic, gothic-inspired aesthetic. The craftsmanship displays precise prong placement and uniform stone setting along the shank. No hallmark is visible in the photograph, but the high-polish finish on the interior shank suggests a modern production, likely within the last 10-15 years. The condition appears excellent with minimal signs of wear to the plating and no visible chips or fractures to the gemstones. The design balances a classic oval silhouette with a bold, alternative color palette, making it a distinctive piece of fashion jewelry or an alternative engagement ring.
